Hi Everybody!

[katemellors]

Hi everyone, I'm Kate! I've just started couch to 5k to get my fitness back up after having my beautiful baby Esther 6 months ago. I was quite a gym bunny before I was pregnant but I wanted to get into something that couldn't be shut down by another lockdown right while I was seeing progress! I'm really lucky to live in a beautiful part of the world and I hope running will get me out to see more. Hope everyone is OK and doing well, I've just finished my first week and looking forward to week 2 😊

Hello and welcome 👋 I hope you enjoy running 🏃‍♀️ it does get easier and more enjoyable after a while when it’s not quite so hard - honest 😂

It’s great being outdoors but there’s always the treadmills at the gym for those dark or rainy days. Good luck!

[katemellors in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Thank you I hope I will enjoy it 😊

Hi Kate 👋 What a lovely positive post. I assume that's your precious baby in your profile pic, awwwwww adorable!

Good luck on your C25k journey, sounds like you're going to enjoy it I'll look forward to reading more posts from you on how you're getting on.

Thank you, yes it is bless her 😊 she is so cute and loves being outdoors too so we've been having lots of long walks in her baby sling to bond 😊

[katemellors in reply to Popstess]

Well done on starting C25K! And congrats on your baby girl 💕 It’s so hard finding time to look after yourself when you have a new baby so it’s great you’ve taken the first step. Good luck on your running journey!! 🤞🏃🏻‍♀️

Thank you 😊I'm glad I've started when I did it's made for a handy routine, we've found a little lane near us, daddy takes Esther for a walk and I run in the other direction and we meet in the middle so it works out pretty well 😊

The gym is something I have never understood. Walking was always my main form of exercise until I decided I wasn't sweating enough 😀. Good luck with week 2.

[katemellors in reply to amisfit]

Thank you, yes I can see what you mean about the gym at least the outdoors can't be closed by a lockdown 😊

[amisfit Graduate in reply to katemellors]

Yes I completely agree re: outdoors. I have been out regularly since I had sign off from doc and physio.
